Surf's Up!

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card that was inspired by a recent Splitcoaststampers Virtual Stamp Night challenge.  I had come across this old retired Taylored Expressions mini set called Surf's Up!
 
I started out by stamping my penguin in memento tuxedo black ink onto some scrap Neenah white card stock before coloring using both copic and prismacolor markers.  Once I was finished coloring the penguin, I created the "beach" he's standing on using my copic markers before stippling my "ocean" behind him using some Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks.  Taking a Picket Fence Studio slimline cloud stencil, blending brushes and some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink, I created my background clouds before stippling a little stormy sky distress ink around the white edges of the image panel then layered.  My card base was created using some scrap designer paper in my stash, along with some retired Stampin Up bliss blue card stock along with bliss blue dye ink stippled around the edges.  After adding the layered panel, using a Sakura black 3D glaze pen, I hand drew the "seagulls" before adding blue dew drops, waterfall ice stickles  and Ranger Glossy Accents to highlight the ocean water.  I'm very please with how this turned out.

  5. Great card for a teenager, and since it's summer here in Australia, surfing is a great way to be spending the long, hot summer days. Thank you for sharing your card with us at The Male Room Craft Challenges.
